Leon was one of many interesting characters who orbited The Doors helping promote the bands European Tour in 1968 then becoming their press secretary for a couple of years. He touted the bands short films around Europe, months before the band appeared, having some successes but more failures. He certainly was enthusiastic and was handed the press agent job after his European adventures.
Back in the days of the Lizard Lounge he shared his 'Morrison Moments' with fans. They consisted of short audio snippets of things he had experience with Jim & the band. CORRESPONDENCE between Leon Barnard and Bill Siddons during his attempts to show the films 'Unknown Soldier' & 'Break On Through' in Denmark & Sweden May to June 1968. Obviously there are gaps in this chain but it is interesting to see Leon in action. He is a nice guy and his legendary Leon Audio Moments he published 20 years back were brilliant. He was a member here and there is an interview with him by Jochen Tittmar in The Scorpywag section at the top of the forum and on this thread below the next post.Leon to Bill 27th May 1968Leon to Bill 28th May 1968 Leon to Bill 2nd June 1968Bill to Leon who is still promoting The Doors in Europe after the success of the bands tour a couple of weeks earlier.
